Manchester Museum Statue Eerily Spins by Itself

Over several months, employees at the Manchester Museum noticed one of their statues spinning slowly while sitting in its glass case. The odd thing was that it had no physical contact with anything while on the shelf.

According to the museum's YouTube video description, the statuette sat on the shelf "for decades and has never moved before." Curious about what could've caused the movement, employees set up a time-lapse video that would capture the statue's image every minute for a week.

The brief clip shows the statue rotating 180 degrees over a five-day span, even though it looks like no one touches it.

The museum says that such movement could've been caused by "subtle vibrations from footfall or traffic outside." However, none of the other statues on the shelf have ever moved. Witchcraft? We'll let you be the judge. Check out the video, above; then tell us what you think in the comments.
